Abstract
The Office of White House Counsel sits at the intersection of law, politics, and policy. Its distinctive challenge is to advise the president to take actions that are both legally sound and politically astute. Often called “the president's lawyer,” the counsel's office serves, more accurately, as the “presidency's lawyer,” with tasks that extend well beyond the exclusively legal. Drawing on interviews with previous occupants of the office, the authors examine the unit's numerous activities, its place in the larger White House and executive branch, and the experiences of those who have served as counsel.
